Happy 59th birthday to
President Goodluck Jonathan, a man of honor and peace and one that has brought
so much joy and hope to millions. You have proved to the world that African
leaders can be competent, kind, gentle, humane and selfless. You have
everything to be proud of and much still lies ahead for you in the affairs of
our nation. You are the light amidst the darkness: a man that was prepared to
let go of power whilst others crave for it, abuse it and are obsessed with it.
Had it not been for that single and historic decision that you
made to concede the election last year and congratulate your opponent, Nigeria
would have been plunged into a cauldron of fire and the greatest and most
bloody civil war that the world has ever known. You let go not because you lost
but because you wanted to deny those that have been afflicted with an
insatiable blood lust and that take delight in carnage and violence the
opportunity to unleash hell on Nigeria and slaughter millions of innocent
souls. Instead of thanking you, those same forces have repaid your good with
evil. Yet God will judge them at the appointed time and He will reward you for
your love, warmth, kindness, gentle nature and selflessness. Nigeria, nay
Africa and indeed the entire world, will never forget you and though we are
suffering the most barbaric and relentless form of persecution today, those of
us that lined up behind you during the struggle for power last year are still
very proud of you. Congratulations and many happy returns to you Mr. President.
Keep shining and keep smiling because despite all we see today the future is
still great and bright. For you it is not yet over. Have a great day.
